With all the food and grass available, barely enough Luli, and an overwhelming army, they fought all the way to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
After passing Yinshan Mountain, they would reach the royal court of the barbarians. The royal tent of Uluolun Heruo and the nobles of various tribes was gathered in the north of Yinshan Mountain.
Shen Lou sat in the commander’s seat and looked at the map. Lin Xin lazily leaned beside him, playing with Yu Yuan.
“Where did Wen Shilan slink off to? He hasn’t been seen for many days. Maybe he is afraid of being beaten!” Shen Yingying sat in the marshal’s tent, trimming the feathers of her big arrow. The tail feathers of an arrow would be damaged after being used twice and must be replaced.
“Qiuting, let me help you repair it.” Zhong Youyu came over and grabbed the big arrow.
There were only seven arrows in Shen Qiuting’s quiver, but it was full. Probably because these arrows were made of black iron, they were many times thicker than ordinary arrows.
“Let brother Jian Yan fix it for me, and you go away.” Shen Yingying said disgustedly.
Zhong Youyu bared his teeth, “He is me, I am him, what’s the difference?”
Zhong Wumo said nothing, weighed the arrow, lowered his head, picked up an eagle feather, and cut it, handed it to Shen Yingying, “Is it feasible?”
“Yes, it’s that big.” Shen Yingying was very satisfied.
“If there’s no difficulty, I’ll do it.” Zhong Youyu refused and cut off the feathers with scissors.
Withdrawing his eyes from the noisy two and a half people, Lin Xin lowered himself, got under Shen Lou’s arm, and looked at the pictures with him on the table, “Wen Shilan hasn’t been seen for a few days, maybe he’s waiting for you here.”
His slender fingers pointed to the gap in the mountain range. This place was called Wuyang Ridge, which was the thinnest place in the north and south directions of Yinshan Mountain. Yinshan Mountain stretched thousands of miles across and could not be bypassed. The shortest way was to take the Wuyang Ridge.
However, the road in Wuyang Ridge was narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The barbarians would definitely annex it here, hoping to kill all the Northern Territory Army.
“Not bad.” Shen Lou didn’t move, letting Lin Xin crawl back and forth in his arms.
What was waiting for him on Wuyang Ridge might be logs and rolling stones, arrow feathers filling the sky, or soul-devouring spirits exploding into fireworks. Other tribes under the rule of Ulorun Khan would also come to the rescue when they learnt that the royal court was besieged. When the two sides attacked, it would be a disaster for their army, which was already weak.
“Marshal! There is smoke!” The guard guarding the door suddenly lifted the curtain and pointed to the sky outside the tent.
Several people in the tent immediately walked out and looked at the clearly visible trace in the sky. Golden Guards held the beacon, and the emperor lit the beacon to summon the princes to rescue him. Something must have happened in Yongdu.
“Brother, could it be that Wen Shilan’s absence is…” Shen Yingying’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and she turned to look at her brother. This might be a move to surround Wei and save Zhao.
“Linfeng hear this order, take 50,000 troops and horses, and go to the capital immediately to rescue them.” Shen Lou said decisively.
“No, you only have an army of 200,000. If I take away 50,000, how can you attack Yinshan?” Zhong Youyu disagreed.
“I have my own plan.” Shen Lou drove him to order troops without any doubt.
When the emperor is in trouble and a war breaks out, the princes must immediately lead their troops wherever they are. This was a rule engraved in the bones and blood of Dayong princes!
Yongdu.
An army of tens of thousands of barbarians suddenly appeared in Youzhou, passing through Shanhaiguan and heading straight for Yongdu. Marquis Yanshan failed to resist and was killed by the Wolf-Slaying Sword.
If nothing would have happened in the Northern Territory, Duke Xuan would immediately lead troops to intercept and form a copper wall to firmly block the barbarians outside the pass. However, Shen Lou went deep into Beimo, and Shen Qirui was killed by the Devouring Spirit, losing all his spiritual power and becoming bedridden. The barbarians dealt with the small princes north of Shanhaiguan like chopping melons and vegetables.
When troops approached the city, the capital was in danger.
“Bitch!” Feng Zhang slapped Zhou Liangyuan to the ground, “What do you mean?”
“Your Highness and the Great Witch are working together only for mutual benefit. This is what the Crown Prince said yourself.” Zhou Liangyuan covered her face and spoke sarcastically.
“Gu gave him convenience, and he dealt with those old things for Gu; Gu was supposed to stop Shen Lou from attacking Beimo, and he was to persuade Uluolun Heruo to negotiate peace with Dayong. This was all agreed upon!” The crown prince grabbed the lapel of Zhou Liangyuan’s clothes and pulled her over. He dragged the woman to the door of the palace and pointed outside with cracked eyes, “But what is he doing?”
Zhou Liangyuan was not afraid at all, she opened the corner of her cracked mouth and showed a gloating smile: “The great witch said that our cooperative relationship with His Highness is over. Next, it depends on what the gods want.”
“Report – the barbarians have attacked Zheng Yangmen!” A young general from the Gyeonggi camp came to report with sweat on his face.
At the beginning of the establishment of Yongdu, Emperor Taizu built a high city wall with rocks from Mogui Valley. Anyone who wielded a sword would fall off after passing it, making it impossible to pass. Therefore, the most ancient method could only be used to attack Yongdu.
“Boom -” The sound of giant wood hitting the city gate echoed in the silent capital. The heavy mortals were terrified, while the immortals gathered at the side gate, waiting for the royal family to escape. An immortal who could wield a sword could fly far away as long as he left this high wall.
“Your Highness, the barbarians have many troops, so we should retreat first. Retreat to Tianlao Peak. There is a large army over there that can compete with them.” The trembling East Palace official advised.
“Get out!” The crown prince kicked the East Palace official away. “The country is destroyed, but the capital is still there. Do I want to be the king of the country? Light a beacon and call the princes to come to the rescue.”
“Finally, you still have some backbone.!” Emperor Yuanshuo’s angry voice came from outside the palace, and everyone in the palace was stunned.
Feng Zhuoyi came slowly in his imperial uniform. The twelve golden guards were standing around him at this time. While the guards outside the palace all knelt down.
“Father…Father…” Feng Zhang looked at the energetic Feng Zhuoyi in disbelief, and then looked at Zhou Liangyang.
Mrs. Zhou was also shocked, the great witch’s soul-eating talisman actually failed!
“Your Majesty Da’an, why do you look like you are mourning for your heir?” Zhu Xingli emerged from behind Emperor Yuanshuo.
“Maybe he was frightened by his subordinates.” The tiger-backed Yulin Army Commander replied, throwing the deputy commander’s head in his hand to the ground, and rolled it to the feet of the East Palace official.
The Yulin military commander was assigned by the crown prince to capture Feng Zhong. The remaining two deputy commanders, one was Zhou Kang and the other was this one, both voted for the prince.
The author has something to say:
Small Theater:
Crown Prince: This soul-eating thing is useless, bad review!
Mrs. Zhou: Dear, disposable consumer goods cannot be returned or exchanged.
Crown Prince: You bastard, let me tell your boss.
Dawu: This product is produced by Dawu. There is absolutely no fake. If you don’t believe me, come and have a piece.
Crown Prince: …
Zhongzhong: Huh? What did you just say you were going to eat?
